Chapter 2
When I get home I plop on the couch cos' I'm so tired. Work really tuckers me out. I gotta get a new job. Maybe me and my best friend, Rocky, can open a music camp. Although, messing with little kids who probably won't listen is not my dream.
Rocky is a total cowgirl. She uses horse shampoo to wash her hair. She wears cowgirl boots every single day. That's what makes us weird because I may not use horse shampoo but I listen to country music all the time and wear cowgirl boots too.
I get up and find yet another note from my brother. Whats with my brother and notes?
Dear Madi,
I've decided to get a job. Don't tell Mom and Dad though, I don't want to get my whole," My baby is growing up," thing.
The brother you're jealous of,
Peter
Ha. He thinks I'm jealous of him. More like he's jealous of me. He wants a job because I have a job. Maybe I should follow him. I grab my keys and walk out the door to my mom's teal van. I hop in and start it up. I pull out of the drive way and head downtown.
I spot his car at a little hobby shop. It looks like this store owner likes sci-fi because the name is," Sci-fi emporium." There is a huge dragon on the front. Payback time. I hop out of my car and walk in. I see the Help Wanted sign on the door. I walk in and see Peter and the boss here talking business. I wonder what he pays? Maybe I'll ask for a job because I heard him tell Peter to come in at 10am. I go up to them and Peter gives me a dirty look. " I'm here for the open job," I say as a look of surprise crosses the mans face. " We've never had a girl want this job," he says. "Well I guess this is the first. I'm Madi," I see him smirk and he looks at Peter. " I'm prepared to give you both a job here," I take the job because it pays good and I don't have to get up till 10. Peter takes the job too.
As soon as I get home I call up Wal-mart and tell them I quit. They tell me ok and I hang up. I laugh and Peter comes stomping in. " You already have a job! Why did you have to come steal mine?" I give him a I Don't care look and say," Not anymore. Work partner." He yells at the top of his lungs and storms out. Did I go to far this time?
